U2 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour 2018

Getting Vertigo in Germany

Set ListLifting the roof of the Lanxess Arena in Cologne tonight with a special shoutout to longtime friend from the days when everyone gave everyone another name: 'Bottle Of Milk right in front of you'. Here's the full set list from Cologne 2.

On The Socials @Chulia83 'Maybe I'm going to repeat myself the next couple of days, sorry, but: I'm still not over how beautiful @u2's #u2eitour is and what a wonderful, personal, heartwarming, sometimes funny and well figured out storyline they brought up on stage here'

ReviewsWritten by Christian Beyermann for Reflections Of Darkness website : '...Around half past 8pm, the lighting was dimmed, the Noel Gallagher song 'It's a Beautiful World' started playing, and the giant screens came to life with a video projection of a mash-up of scenes from Charlie Chaplin's iconic film 'The Great Dictator', interlaced with pictures of real and would-be dictators (think Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump), destroyed cities all over Europe in the aftermath of WWII, and demonstrating youths bearing "Refugees welcome" banners... U2 started playing 'The Blackout' from the 2017 'Songs of Experience' album from inside the barricage, of which the main upper part was slowly lifted towards the ceiling. What became immediately clear is that the sound engineers had done a tremendous job. Wherever you were inside the huge arena, you were truly immersed into the soundscape of the concert without losing a sense of direction where the music originated, and all instruments and Bono's distinct vocals came across in a perfectly clear way. ..The song 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' saw Bono and his band members marching on the barricage towards the other stage. The stage transition was also marked by an abrupt change in looks, as Bono donned a black coat, a top-hat, and a ton of make-up to mark his metamorphosis into a Mephistopheles -like character. This was augmented by the screen projection which positioned a devilish mask onto Bono's face, while he was singing songs like 'Elevation' and 'Vertigo'.

What Did Bono Say?'A story of four ordinary boys, made extraordinary by our music and our audience… we are very humbled to be in this position'

'Danke danke… In Berlin I could not sing that song… but you sang it for us…we will be forever in your debt,'(after Red Flag Day)

'Blessed is Köln, the heart of Europe, the blue of the sky we share and the yellow stars over our heads'

"Danke für die geile Nacht!"

We love You deep Bono

Full voice is back!!!!!
We are so thankful for leading us to higher levels during the our own eXPERIENCE trip of emotional intelligence, which everybody should discover. We thank You for your true Love, which is born out of things needed to do in a long way and finally leads to ONE of the deepest hurts, to meet "IRIS" again.
Healing...
We know there is no feeded lie.
Maybe even McPhisto (Good to have You back here Man!) thinks sometimes:"Get all these cynics into their clinics.
We truly love Bono.

Great intimate show! Storytelling was on

The personal touch added to the songs by Vino's spoken word poetry, personal annecdotes, open commentary about latest episodes line Bono's I'm losing his voice and gaining it back (Mephisto has something to say about that), just enough activism and politics to make it meaningful without losing touch, production level of imagery and soundscapes... All made for an unforgettable night.

WELCOME BACK LOVE

One more chance and yes, satisfied. VERTIGO is pure ADRENALINE. (look up my niece's Adrenaline, it's not rock but she rocks!) I think I might want to sing. I know I want to go to Dublin.

From the Glens of Antrim to Koln.

What a show guys you are like a fine maturing wine.
Belfast and Dublin you are in for one hell of a show.
I loved the reworking of Pride and especially New Years Day.
You never sit on you hands and play it safe.
